Dr. Dmitriy Sivtsov, MD — Psychiatrist in San Diego, CA

I can't say enough good things about San Diego TMS and Ketamine! From the moment I walked in, the staff was so welcoming and kind- they made me feel right at home during my TMS sessions. My psychiatrist there provided truly bespoke integrative care, tailoring everything to my needs for depression relief. The flexibility with scheduling was a game-changer, and the TMS treatment worked wonders- my depression has lifted in ways I never thought possible. Super positive experience. If you are struggling, this is the spot, I highly recommend! This is what he told me to forward to you, have a great day!

I've had multiple psychiatrists over a 43-year battle with major depression, and Dr. Sivtsov is by far the best I've ever had (no one else was remotely close). He is learned, thorough, compassionate, caring, extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and passionate about what he does - he truly cares. He immediately made very slight tweaks to my meds, which were very helpful. I subsequently had TMS therapy done at his office under his supervision, which was extremely helpful (to be clear, far more helpful than my cocktail of meds had ever been). When external triggers set off a fresh bout of heightened depression, he put me on a course of Spravato (pharmaceutical ketamine) treatments which were life-changing. And he and his office spend the time to work tirelessly behind the scenes to get the myriad insurance approvals necessary for the meds, the TMS, the Spravato..I cannot say enough good things about this doctor or his office.

Dr. Sivtsov, had saved my life and I know I’m in the best care with him. He listens and he knows what to prescribe usually on the first day of meeting with him. He is respectful and takes everything you say very seriously. I recommend him to everybody.

I love Dr Sivtsov, he is the best psychiatrist I’ve ever worked with. His 30 minute appointments allows him to do more than just a ‘med check in’ but to understand what ups and downs I might be going through so he can support me as best as he can. He offers some of the latest breakthroughs in mental health and offers non-prescription options, as well as nutritional supplement suggestions. He listens to any suggestions I may have and we discuss what the best option is for me. I always feel heard and that he genuinely cares about my mental health. I trust him with the mental health of my loved ones and continue to highly recommend him.

I have been connected with Dr. Sivtsov and Silverlining psychology personally and professionally and could not be more impressed with the level of care, compassion and expertise. I was initially impressed with Dr. Sivtsov’s is collaboration and communication regarding a complex case and client I also consulted on. He had excellent therapeutic alliance and sound judgement at all times. The office is professional, organized and timely. Crystal at the front desk is professional and patient. The energy is the office is calm and not sterile or cold. Personally, Dr. Sivtsov went above and beyond dealing with my insurance regarding TMS treatment authorization and the scheduling of those appointments. The billing was done in office and I never had an issue. Karla, the TMS tech was AH-mazing. Her upbeat personality, humor and relaxed demeanor made daily TMS treatments as pleasant as possible. If I was running late or had a question I just let Karla know and she would find a way to get me in. Don’t hesitate to schedule an appt. you won’t be disappointed.

It is strange writing a review for a Psychiatrist but I feel compelled to assure others searching for this type of professional, that Dr. Sivtsov is the real deal. I would describe him as highly intelligent, deeply knowledgable, witty (in a fun sort of way) and deeply compassionate. Mutual respect and honesty is key when seeing any health care professional...patients will get this and more when they see Dr. Sivtsov.
